Summer Tease

38 More Sleeps Until Summer Break

by: Candace Derickx

This past weekend marked perhaps the most perfect weather ever for a May long weekend in Canada. It was absolutely glorious from the Friday morning right through to the Monday night. And it took my family exactly 3.2 seconds to shift into summer mode. The girls lived in the pool, they picniced on blankets on the lawn, I generally avoided my computer for three straight days, my husband and I sat in the backyard with cold drinks and had long conversations.....it was perfection.

Then Tuesday hit. Wham!

Walt Disney World

What's New, What's Next

by: Candace Derickx

Last month I joined media from across North America for the Summer to Remember Press Event at Walt Disney World in Florida. I'm sure you'll not be surprised to hear that Disney continues to give their guests a million and one reasons to come visit them.

Call Your Parents Now

Don't Have Any Regrets

by: Candace Derickx

I can barely write this post without big drippy tears streaming down my face. Because I am blessed. I am blessed beyond anything I ever deserved with the two most wonderful parents on earth. Truly.

And yet, I've let them down before. I've forgetten to call, or I let my tiredness prevent me from inviting them in for supper. I got lazy. I got wrapped up in my own stuff and I forgot that although we are no longer under the same roof, we still share the same heart. And then I snapped out of it.

Candace Derickx is a wife, mother, stepmother, volunteer, entrepreneur and recovering housewife. After years of judging mothers who worked outside the home and wondering how on earth they could send their kids to school with lunchables (gasp!), Candace’s June Cleaver ways recently got an ass kicking when this stay at home mother started her own business, Best Tools for Schools, and went back to work.

Now she’s trying to raise two little girls in a Bratz world, be a good stepmother to a teenage boy and keep her marriage strong while juggling work, home and life. Candace now believes popcorn is not a snack, it’s an entrée, clean clothes are a privilege, not a necessity and Martha Stewart will be dropping by at any moment to slap a condemned sign on her house
